House GOP Proposes $3.3 Million Budget For Benghazi Panel — More Than For VA Committee.

House Republicans are planning to spend as much as $3.3 million for this year's operations of the special committee they created in May to investigate the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, a bigger budget than the House Veterans Affairs and Ethics committees were given this year.

According to a committee document provided by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi's office, House Republicans want a $3.3 million budget for this year's operations of the 12-member select committee on the Benghazi attacks. As with most congressional committees, the document indicates the majority party gets the bigger share of the resources for the panel; the budget provides just under $2.2 million for Republicans and just over $1 million for Democrats on the committee. There are seven GOP lawmakers and five Democrats serving on the committee, and it is expected to have a staff of 30.

By comparison, the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs — which has a roster of 25 lawmakers and about 27 staff members — spent $2.5 million in 2013 and has a $3 million budget for 2014. The Ethics Committee budget for 2014 was more than $3 million, with a staff of about 25 serving 10 lawmakers.

The use of taxpayer dollars you approve of, I guess, is for Government agencies like the IRS, EPA and INS to abuse their powers and hound and attack political enemies of the Obama Regime....

Or two billion requested this week by Obama to naturalize, er, "process" these illegals being spread out all over the country.

if I was Boehner, I would crank out a bill giving the Vets 2 billion for medical treatment in private hospitals and tell Obama to shove it on the faux immigration crisis.

Wow! If you were Boehner, you'd actually be trying to do something. But just something about veterans, and not the immigration crisis!
